Documentation for LAPACK
</H1>

<P>
This <B>Users' Guide</B> gives an informal introduction to
the design of the package, and a detailed description of its contents.
Chapter&nbsp;<A HREF="node109.html#chapdocsoftware">5</A> explains the conventions used in the
software and documentation.
Part&nbsp;<A HREF="node149.html#partroutines">2</A> contains complete specifications of all the
driver routines and computational routines. These specifications have been
derived from the leading comments in the source text.

<P>
On-line manpages (troff files) for LAPACK routines, as well as for most of
the BLAS routines, are available on netlib.  These files are
automatically generated at the time of each release.  For more
information, see the <TT>manpages.tgz</TT> entry on the <TT>lapack</TT>
index on netlib.
